Happy 4th Birthday to Brayden Kalan Wood!

Busy day......

First & most important our little guy turned 4 today!!

Happy 4th Birthday to Brayden Kalan Wood!!  

So happy that you get to celebrate it at Disney with Grandma & Papa.
Everyone all day long told him 'Happy Birthday' since he was wearing his Disney BD pin & his Birthday Boy shirt that Aunt Kathy got for him.

Here is a cute picture from Magic Kingdom yesterday.....
guess race cars run in Brayden's blood.
Oh my gosh......he had a blast driving this RED race car in Speedway Land!!
Too bad it wasn't car #52 instead of #11.

We just got back to our hotel.  We had a fantastic day!  We started out our morning with a full breakfast with our Stampin' UP! family.  Then off to Animal Kingdom we went!!  My friend Christy Kimball & her husband Keith joined us for the day.  We all had a BLAST!!  So glad that they could join us.  Keith was wonderful & helped carry Brayden on his shoulders too.  So between Keith & Papa, it was great to have him up so high to see everything.  

I have tons of picture to share.....just too tired tonight to load them to my computer & try to get any posted.  We did the African Safari, the Raging River ride (2 times), kids petting zoo, Lion King play, Nemo play, Bugs 3D show, etc........  

We had pizza for supper (Brayden's request) & went to the bakery by our hotel & bought him a little Mickey Mouse cupcake for his birthday cake.  The lady at the bakery gave us 4 candles & our concierge guy found some matches for us to light the candles- so we sang 'Happy Birthday' to him.  Then we went to Magic Kingdom for the "Magic Wishes" show at Cinderella's castle, the lighted Disney parade & a fantastic fireworks show!!!

We aren't sure what we are going to do tomorrow.  We might just hang out at our hotel & swim, etc.  Will see how tired we all are in the morning.

I also wanted to share these cute cards that my friend Christy Kimball gave to me. 

Good Night.....
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

We spent Monday at Magic Kingdom.....

Our morning started off bright & early with our Stampin' UP! family, having a delicious Continental breakfast.  My friend, Missy Shipman, brought a cute birthday gift for Brayden of Disney stickers.  How sweet..... (Thanks Missy- he loved it!)

Then Stampin' UP! had us all hop on a bus & took us to Magic Kingdom, where we got to enter the Kingdom early & go to see the cute comedian show- 'Monsters, Inc. Laughing Comedy Show'.  We then headed back to main street to watch the opening singing act at the gate.  Along the way we saw a mama mallard duck & her babies.

Then my friend, Becky Roberts, came to find us.  She knew that Brayden had been looking for lizzards and bless her- she saw one & wanted to make sure he saw it.  Of all places it was in Mickey's mouth.   Do you see it?

Kevin & Aunt Barbie gave Brayden $20 to buy a gift for his birthday.....and check it out.  How do you like his new Mickey Mouse hat?  Of course it is red- his favorite color.  Sure looks cute on him.
Here is a picture of Brayden & papa on the 'Tomorrowland People Mover' ride.   We got to ride it around & see all of the highlights in Tomorrowland.

I have bunches more to share....but am tired & off to bed.  We are headed out to Animal Kingdom tomorrow morning after a full breakfast with our Stampin' UP! family.  Our friends, Christy & Keith Kimball are going to spend the day with us at Animal Kingdom, so we are looking forward to that. 

PLUS Bradyen turns 4 years old on May 1st (tomorrow)!!!  Where has the time gone.  We are excited that he gets to spend his special day with us at Disney!

We have a fun day planned for Tuesday & lots more to look forward to!!  So hope to get back to our room tomorrow night to post more. 
Have a great day!
Happy Stamping!

We are here at Disney!!!

We are here!!!

We had a short night on Saturday & a LONG day yesterday.

Delayed flights in Chicago to top it off.....but finally arrived in Orlando about 4:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

From the airport we jumped on a bus & headed for the Boardwalk Hotel.

WOW!!!  What an amazing place.
AND
Much to my surprise when I checked in I learned I earned a concierge room!

It is beautiful & we will get waited on hand & foot the whole week.

There was a cute Mickey Mouse towel figure on our bed & chocolates.

We even have a balcony with a fabulous scenery out our door.

Brayden & Papa checking out our room & balcony.

 During our LONG wait in the Chicago airport we met up with my Canadian demonstrator friend- Heather Summers & her son Nathan. 
They were on the same delayed flight too.
Here is Brayden with his new friend- Nathan Summers (& Heather too)!

 Here is a cute picture of Nathan Summers & Brayden sitting on the huge couch in the main lobby of our hotel.

Here is a picture of some of us hanging out in the Stampin' UP! hospitality lounge.
Great to see some of our dear friends & their spouses again.

Our hotel has a wonderful pool too.
Brayden swam for quiet awhile last night.

Last night Stampin' UP! had a meet & greet along the Broadwalk.

Here is Brayden getting some autographs from some of our friends.

AND

Here is Brayden visiting with Shelli.  

She signed his autograph book & got her picture taken with him.

Not sure she realized that she made a new friend forever!!

He saw her at breakfast this morning & had to go right over to tell her all about Papa sleeping with him last night & Brayden kicking him & about pushing Papa out of bed, etc.  

Too cute! 
Shelli got a kick out of him telling her his story.

I hope to post today's events sometime tomorrow.
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!
